LISTEN | Miami GP - the newest, hottest driver playground
The latest race on the Formula 1 calendar in Miami could be the track for Ferrari redemption, Mercedes upgrades and Red Bull success. All this and more in the latest episode
of Track This on JacPod.
The most
anticipated Formula One race of the season is finally upon us, and the teams and
fans are gearing up for the inaugural Miami Grand Prix this Sunday.
The track at the Miami
International Autodrome in Miami Gardens, Florida is brand new and looks set to provide some exciting
racing with 19 corners, three straights and two core overtaking zones.
The
question is how will the drivers use this to their advantage, having never
driven the track before? Our Track This panel seem very split on the topic.
Racing driver
Tasmin Pepper thinks 27-year-old Carlos Sainz’ contract extension should help going
into this weekend: “I feel like they gave him the contract extension to calm him
down a little bit and not have all this pressure on his shoulders.”
Fellow
panelist and racing driver Tschops Sipuka thinks Mercedes is quite far away
from being competitive. “I can give you a hunch here, they are going to turn
around that car in the next six months.”
Motorsport
analyst and TopGear SA Director, Avon Middleton believes the Miami GP is one
for Red Bull: “I think Perez has gotten to grips with that car now, I think he
is driving really well, so number one for Sergio.”
